Grilled lobster tails with garlic lemon butter

Keep leftover butter mixture in the freezer for a quick and simple way to add flavour to steaks, seafood or vegetables.

If you want to make enough butter for 12 oysters, prepare a quarter quantity of the recipe.

Method

Step 1

Turn the tail over and use sharp scissors to cut off the flat underside of the shell.

Step 2

Press open with your thumbs and remove tail meat in one piece.

Step 3

Slice, then arrange in shell.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer beat butter until pale. Beat in remaining ingredients. Season to taste

Step 5

Layer 2 sheets of plastic wrap on a clean work surface. Spoon butter lengthways along plastic. Roll up to form a 10cm log, twisting ends to seal. Chill until required.

Step 6

Preheat barbecue plate on medium. Place lobster, shell side down on hotplate. Cut 2 x 1.5cm rounds from butter and spread over meat. Cook 2-3 minutes until butter bubbles and lobster is warmed through.
